“She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.” (Toni Morrison)

Philadelphia for the weekend to love on Rachel, who asked me if I wanted to sit next to her on the bus on our field trip to see Cats freshman year of high school, and has been letting me yap at her ever since. I haven’t seen her since March, and it’s the longest we’ve gone in ten years. Never again. That Rachel, she is a friend of my mind.

Back Monday, with pictures and a full heart.
